According to the rapper’s publicist, he had been taken to the hospital a “few days ago in Vegas after a Mobb Deep performance for complications caused by a sickle cell anemia crisis. As most of his fans know, Prodigy battled the disease since birth.”

Details surrounding his death are unclear, but his final and seemingly chilling social media post was while at his last performance at the Art of Rap tour over the weekend.

In a photo posted on Instagram, he wore a shirt that read: “God protect my friends. I take care of my enemies.”

Following news of the untimely passing, several stars took to social media to express their condolences.
